The (almost) flying sapin de Noël

Yesterday, after the daily workout, Anto called over the phone and "RUSH!! RUSH!! the christmas tres is "flying away" -- it is self-destroying" . With a sort of british calm, I reached home to find the tree laying on our window, not really destroyed.

Anyway the wind was really strong.

Anto's suggestion: take the tree indoor -- hardly a solution in my view, the tree (having been bought for the larger Como's home) would have taken all the space of our living room.

So I decided the right solution was to block it with some wires (four of them in different positions):

After all, the wind could not "really" make it fly away.

Or could it ?

Here's the scene down here, rue Andrioli with Promenade des Anglais at 5.45 am this morning:

Tree satellite dishes (antenna) did not resist the wind and falled down! Many other structures that I saw this morning were also laying in pieces on the ground.
